This avoids indirection by making calls directly to the C implementations which prevents potentials of mismatched intent or changes of calling convention of @_silgen. The added benefit is that all of the shims in this case are no longer visible symbols (anyone using them was not authorized out side of the Foundation overlay). Also the callout methods in the headers now all share similar naming shcemes for easier refactoring and searching in the style of __NS<class><action> style. The previous compiled C/Objective-C source files were built with MRR the new headers MUST be ARC by Swift import rules.
The one caveat is that certain functions MUST avoid the bridge case (since they are part of the bridging code-paths and that would incur a recursive potential) which have the types erased up to NSObject * via the macro NS_NON_BRIDGED.
The remaining @_silgen declarations are either swift functions exposed externally to the rest of Swift’s runtime or are included in NSNumber.gyb which the Foundation team has other plans for removing those @_silgen functions at a later date and Data.swift has one external function left with @_silgen which is blocked by a bug in the compiler which seems to improperly import that particular method as an inline c function.
From the Swift documentation:
"If you define an optional variable without providing a default value,
the variable is automatically set to nil for you."
All generic bridgeable types can bridge for all their instantiations now. Removing this ferrets out some now-unnecessary traps that check for unbridgeable parameter types.
Foundation provides a number of specific operators defined in the
global scope. Push all of these into their corresponding types. This
cleanup helps verify that the SE-0091 implementation is generally
functional.
As part of the extensive work on value types in Foundation this year, we
decided to also add value types for these three key classes. In addition
to adding value semantics, the API was extensively audited to improve
Swift interop (especially Calendar).

This reverts commit 46a9f57329.
This broke Swift CI, OSS incremental RA:
./swift/stdlib/public/SDK/Foundation/TimeZone.swift:228:45: error: 'NSTimeZone' is not implicitly convertible to 'TimeZone'; did you mean to use 'as' to explicitly convert?
return lhs._wrapped.isEqual(to: rhs._wrapped)

This breaks swift-ci for everyone:

public func dateInterval(of component: Component, for date: Date) -> DateInterval? {
